There was a delay in medical care too

She soon started complaining of bleeding, but a pediatrician could spot nothing amiss and simply advised a change of diet. When the bleeding persisted, they took her to another doctor who discovered the assault. When she enquired, the girl told her what had happened.

ActionPolice and school have launched probes

The parents lodged a police complaint on December 3. The next day, they visited the school, where the girl identified the accused.

"The boy confessed to having slapped my daughter," her father said.

Police have conducted a medical examination and lodged an FIR under Section 376, which specifies rape. They are trying to ascertain what happened.

Meanwhile, the school has launched its own investigation.

FactorsHow do children commit such horrific crimes?

Often, minor perpetrators don't realize the harm they are inflicting, experts say. In this case, preliminary reports had revealed the incident happened "when the kids were playing pranks with each other", said Sahibabad SHO Rakesh Singh.

Moreover, children often learn such behavior by imitating what they observe on TV or from adults.
